The Tar Man, who shows up throughout the movie, goes through 3 distinctly different voices, one for each scene: one is low and gurgly, one is high-pitched, and one is extremely low. This same zombie also takes a few breaths when he tries to pull the door of the cabinet Tina is hiding in, and proceeds to stop breathing for the rest of the movie. [This is simply because he is a rotting corpse that has trouble maintaining his voice, his vocal chords and lungs are in the process of decomposing. Also, him breathing to assist in his pulling of the door is not a mistake, as we cannot tell he is not breathing througout the rest of the film. He very well could be, and most likely is, otherwise, he couldn't talk.]

Mistakes
In the opening, the movie starts at 5:30pm as displayed on the screen and Frank tells Burt he and the new man, Freddy, will be done in an hour making it 6:30pm. Couple of scenes later, in the punkers' car, Tina states that Freddy will be getting off at 10pm. See more...
Trivia
The actress who plays Trash is actually wearing a prosthetic rubber "crotch piece" during her strip scene (and subsequent scenes), which one of the producers insisted on, because he felt full frontal female nudity was "too much" for the film. Ironically, most of the shots of her are from a distance, and her under-region is hard to see, so in the end, the prosthetic was not really necessary. As confirmed in DVD commentary. See more...

After Frank and Freddie open the tank, Tarman comes to life, gets out of the tank, and hangs out in the basement. Some time later after Tina arrives, he finally shows himself. Where and why was he hiding while Frank and Freddie were out cold (and unbeknownst to them already dead)? [There's no way to be certain, but he was probably in the process of reanimation, and they were so scared/sick they just didn't notice him.]
